Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To constitute a circularly polarized wave antenna which is nondirectional in a horizontal plane and to receive radio waves which arrive from unspecified direction with equal sensitivity regardless of the polarization by putting a vertical and a horizontal dipole antenna together at their output ends in parallel. SOLUTION: A vertical dipole antenna 1 is has its overall length made shorter than the half-wavelength of a frequency in use, and its output impedance is capacitive. The horizontal loop antenna 2 has its circumferential length made shorter than the 1/3 wavelength of the frequency in use and is held nondirectional in a horizontal plane. A boom 3 has a circuit built therein and takes the output out of a coaxial plug 4. The output capacitance of the dipole antenna 1 is represented as a function of the ratio of the diameter of the antenna element and the antenna ratio, and the output inductance of the loop antenna 2 is represented as a function of the ratio of the diameter of the conductor and the diameter of the antenna. Thus when the antenna length and diameter are made constant, resonance at the frequency in use can be obtained by properly selecting the diameters of respective element conductors.

2. Description of the Related Art A crossed dipole antenna has been well known as a circularly polarized antenna used in the short wave and ultra high frequency bands. As is well known, this crossed antenna has directivity in a direction perpendicular to the crossing plane of the antenna, and when deviating from the vertical direction, the property of elliptical polarization gradually increases. Because of such directional characteristics, radio waves incident from an unspecified direction cannot be received with the same characteristics. For this reason, it is usually used in a state where the positional relationship between transmission and reception is specified.

In shortwave and ultrashortwave communications, linear polarization is used except in special cases. In particular, in mobile communications, the plane of polarization is affected by propagation path conditions and antenna fluctuations. As a result, a constant polarization plane is not always held up to the receiving point. Normally, a horizontal omni-directional linearly polarized antenna is used as a receiving antenna, so that there is a problem that the receiving state is greatly changed due to fluctuations of the polarization of the received radio wave and the receiving quality is deteriorated. In such a case, it is conceivable to use a crossed dipole antenna, which is a circularly polarized antenna capable of receiving data regardless of the plane of polarization. Can not be. The present invention has been made to solve such a problem, and an object of the present invention is to provide a circularly polarized antenna having no horizontal omnidirectionality.
